A Fair Trade in Progress When the Con-
ditions Are Considered.

1NDIANAPoLIs Aug. 10.
When the surroundings and the character of
the weather are taken into consideration the
volume of business is as large as could be ex-
pected. In nearly all the territory which draws
it's supply from Indianapolis the drought is do
ing more or less damage. For instance on the
l., P. e. G. road there portions of the way
where corn and grass look we'll, but large per
cent. of the distance the dry weather has dam
aged crops of all kinds which yet to mature.
On the Indianapolis g. Vincennes road much of
the distance crops are as good as usual. and on
the l.. d. & S. road fair crops are looked for;
but the Peoria division of the l., B. & w.
everything is being burned up. On the c., l.,
ST. l.. 81 G., north, crops look WELL es-
pecially the corn and grass, except in central
Indiana. The yield on the Kankakeo prairies
promises to be up to the usual average. A heavy
rain would do much to revive business gener-
ally. Locally there is little new to note. Prices
in the main rule steady and firm. Grocers are
experiencing a good trade for midsummer
Teas in fair request, and prices tending

crop is large and lower prices are indicated
Spices meeting with good sale, the request
being largely from the mixed pickles and pre-
serving trade. Sugars are meeting with fair
distribution at unchanged yet firm prices. East
papers report the coffee market weaker
The Boston Journal says: The demand for
Rio grades s still rather spasmodic. and the
market rules in favor of buyers. Holders are
still confident that the future will bring about
better state of things, and that the demand
and prices will improve. West India and South
American cofees continue firm. and prices have
made further slight gain. East India grades
are steady, and meet with moderate demand"

been strikes and boycotts that appar- ently yielded temporary advantage to those engaged in them, but the trouble always is they have intro duced the conditions out of which springs the injustice of which they complain. The usury class, the employing class, the selling class, the making class laugh at the boycott and impotent strikes, collec- lively, because they know it does not touch the source of their power which is the magic key to the halls of legislation. Once let labor throw down as useless such duh and an- cient tools of warfare as strikes and boycotts and Combine and conspire' to use the ballot for the purpose of changing the laws that now enable the capitalist class to monopolize the bounties of nature as well as money, the creation of the people and the only thing endowed by law with the saving power to let those enslaved by debt go free, and you will see the knees quake and the faces of the gluttons turn pale; but so far they have, workingmen, successfully gam bled on your stupidity and made you believe that it was for your in- terest to vote for them and against yourselves.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The "democrats" and "republi- cans" in Milwaukee fused against the labor party last week in the elec- tion of a superior court judge. The fusion was successful, but the neces- slty of it is suggestive. When the two old parties are driven to make common cause against the new party it means that the new conner is some- thing more than a third party, and IS in a fair way to become something more than half party. We await with lmpatience the general preya- lence of the new division. -- IIiaSted Press.

"zENO'S' POLISH,

To the H'orhmen's 1drocdte.
 believe, with the WoRKMEN's ADvO- CATE, that "critioism polishes genius, and wish to polish Mr. H. k. Allen. l shall not debate with him until he studies political economy little, and learns how not to misrepresent. How can an honest man say that |, as a So- cialist, hold that "all men have a right to accumulate what they can through the manipulation of land?"
 know very little about printing; but the demand to exclude plates seems to me like demand that the boss printer shall furnish more work than he wishes done; and demand that he enlarges his publication; or takes dow. standing matter every day; or hires union man to set up matter every day and "pi" it at night; or that he is asked in any way, to pay for work that he wishes to dis pense with is the same kind of demand. 1 am uniformed and learn nothing by the terms ridiculous and ignorance" Mr. Allen argues from the old fogy idea that work is a good thing, and the more work we do, the better; that justice lies wholly in seltishness. Thus the advant- age, to him, of distributing standing matter, is compared to the excluding Of plates. The latter will employ more men, therefore it is justified solely on that ground; while the fact that both are wrong is ignored.
 infer that MT. Allen would have the State control all newspapers, so that no printer would be without a job. Per haps he would have every column filled with "phat;' and if more printers offered than were needed, various schemes would be resOrted to, so that the amount of work would be increased, for labor saving devices are damage to laborers. Any kind of Socialism which would monopolize the press, must and ought to fail, If there be any who advocate the nationalization of dH capital against the will of those who use the capital, they are responsible for charges made by the capitalist press that Socialism is slavery" The State may control newspapers; but it must not suppress my paper, even though use it to show that the government ought to be reyo- lutlonized. The State may control en- zines and horses; but may also run an engine to print paper, or keep horse l for private use.

to contend against, and does not un- derrate the importance of the labor movement. Speaking of the New York election, he says:
 'Henry George is not myth, nor a sentiment, nor theory, nor boys play. It means business business in the politi- cal arena, business in the next Presiden- tlal campaign
 The importance with which the presidential contest is invested lies in the fact that the president is dls- penser of political pap. We, Social ists, regard local electionsasaf prime importance. Of course, there is plentY0f denunciation of the "dem- ocratic" party. but as the same de- nunciation applies with equal force to the republicans" the writer might with propriety have been silent upon the subject. The young re- publicans" are not much inclined to intellectual exercise, as may be seen from the following:
 "The club has been organized over two years, and with the exception of single debate, which by the way, was partici- pated in by just one member, there has been nothing of the kind to stimulate the mind of the members during the en- tire history of the club"
 In this respect the Labor Party differs, and the reason is palpable: Workingmen have grievances and wrongs to right, and their party is organized for definite purpose not merel y for the benefit of gang of office hunters. While the working men depend upon the spread of truth and light to win their victory, their opponents depend mainly upon the power of "boodle" and election fanfaronades to keep their class in power. Therefore. it is no wonder that their debates" are confined tc "just one member"
 If 1t were matter of the rule o1 reason, the Labor Party would soor wipe out the ''republican' tenders to capitalism. Unfortunately it is the rule of force, and the Labor Party is accumulating the force nee essary to oust the politicians. Wher the Labor Party has cast majorit, of votes, then will come the tug O war, for depend upon it, they vii not be cheated out of their right ala Tilden.

. CONSPIRACY LAWS.

of conspiracy in the State are very much like the laws in cer- tain organizations which permit the lnflictlon of penalties upon men who differ in opinion with the constitu- ted authorities. Where the State uses the elastic conspiracy law, the private organizations use the phrase: "conduct unbecoming a member;" leaving it to those in power to define what such conduct is. That work ingmen's organizations have such laws is q sign that they are no better than the law mongers they so vocif- erously condemn. As to placing such people in political power, - we'll, we should be inclined to trust our chances to intelligent and cun- ming enemies than to blgoted and ignorant friends.
 The organized workmen must learn something more than aping the capitalist class before they can supplant the ruling minority.
